As the New Year was approaching, Ji Mao, the old manager who had been patrolling outside for several months, returned to Jidu.

From childhood to adulthood, this is the longest time that the old manager has left Ji Kang's side.

But there is no way, the territory of Yan Country is at least several times larger than before Ji Kang went to Liaodi. Although the gallop is much better than in the past because of the birth of cement, the fastest means of transportation is still horses!

In the study, Ji Kang looked at Ji Mao, the old manager who had returned to his side, and had just sat down.

The boss Ji Mao pays great attention to his appearance. Before seeing Ji Kang, he had already washed up. But the wind and frost on his face were still clearly visible, and the gray hair on his head also increased.

Ji Kang felt a little emotional in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Uncle Ji, it's been hard this time."

"There is Prince Lao's concern, this is the duty of the minister, and the minister is not hard."

"Are there still displaced people?"

"Prince Qiyu, there are no more homeless people in my Yan country. But now, from neighboring countries, and even beyond, there are still displaced people who continue to enter our Yan country. However, the prince can rest assured that the government has properly settled these displaced people. ”

"Uncle Ji, what is the situation in the counties of my Yan Kingdom? Are officials incorruptible? Are there still people who lack food and clothing? ”

Ji Kang asked cautiously.

"Prince, this time the minister went to inspect the counties and counties, and the two situations that the prince said just now are very rare in my Liaodi. On the contrary, this situation still exists in the new counties established last year. ”

"In the newly established counties, the high-level officials of the county government are very self-disciplined. However, the situation in the following counties, townships, li, and villages still exists, but there are not many of them. ”

"The minister went this time, according to the report of the Supervision Yuan and the intelligence officers, and then went through a secret visit. Five county magistrates were executed for corruption and perversion of the law, and fifty-two were executed by the township chiefs and ministers below. ”

"For example, in Tsunasei County, Kamiya County, there is a position of lieutenant chief, and for decades, it has been controlled by a family for a long time. In collusion up and down in the county, the power is very large. Obey the yang and bully the people. ”

"The county magistrate sent by the county government, when he was about to investigate him, he actually jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent someone to assassinate the county magistrate. This time the minister went to Gangcheng County, and according to the new law of my Yan Kingdom, after finding out, he killed 21 people in one go. ”

Ji Kang nodded, and said to the old manager Ji Mao with a smile: "Uncle Ji, this matter has been published in the newspaper. Now it is the storyteller of Jidu, and he has also begun to preach the story of you in Gangcheng County, this story of eliminating evil and promoting good, Ji Bo, you will be famous for eternity! ”

Storytellers have existed in this era, but they are not professional.

"Mozi Ploughing Pillar" contains clouds: "Those who can talk about debate talk about debate, and those who can tell stories tell stories." ”

But with the popularity of paper books in the Yan Kingdom.

Now among the people of Yan Guoguo, there have been professional "storytellers" similar to Ji Kang's previous life.

Hearing Ji Kang say this, the boss Ji Mao actually showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Prince, the minister doesn't dare to be. The storyteller is full of exaggerations and does not correspond to reality. When the minister heard this, he obviously killed 21 people, but the storyteller said that he had killed more than 100 people. When the old minister left Gangcheng, he left quietly, but they said that it was an empty alley. ”

Seeing Ji Mao's expression like this, Ji Kang felt very interesting in his heart.

Haha laughed, and said to the boss:

"Uncle Ji, eliminate evil and promote good, educate the people, and deter corrupt officials and corrupt officials, what's the harm in exaggerating?"

The old manager Ji Mao looked at Ji Kang, didn't know what he thought, and said to Ji Kang with a smile:

"Prince, the minister heard that the princess is about to ...... It's almost raw! ”

As soon as he heard the boss say this, Ji Kang was even more smiling.

"Jibo, yes. The medical officer calculated the days and said that it was the end of the New Year. ”

"That's good, that's good! After the prince has it, I will be safe in the country! ”

The old manager Ji Mao, the wrinkles on the old face smiled.

Because of Yan Wang Ji Ming's poor health, this year's New Year's Day, Ji Palace is very lonely.

That is, the eldest brother Ji Xi's family came to the Thistle Palace, and the family reunited for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, in a garden of the Thistle Palace.

The crown princess Su Ya, Qingzhu and Qingmei are in a warm pavilion in the garden, watching plum blossoms.

The warm pavilion is surrounded by transparent glass. Although it was cold outside, it was very warm inside.

During this season, the plum blossoms are at their most luxuriant.

Among Ji Kang's three wives, Qingmei loves plum blossoms the most, and the garden here is also in his courtyard.

In this garden of Kiyome, there are many varieties of plum blossoms.

Plum blossoms of various colors, such as white, red, dark red, and pink, compete to bloom. Some plum blossoms have been in bloom for a long time, and their tender petals are pitiful; Some plum blossoms are shy to be released, and the buds are tender and lovely.

Su Ya was in the warm pavilion, looking at a plum tree outside the pavilion, and several plum blossoms were blooming on the plum tree. The flowers are translucent red, and the petals are smooth and transparent, like jasper carving, a bit of ice and jade.

Su Ya pointed to the plum blossoms in these gardens and said to Qingmei, "What is the name of this plum blossom?" ”

Qingmei stepped forward and was about to introduce Su Ya.

At this time, I heard an attendant outside the cabinet shouting: "The prince has arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Ji Kang had already lifted the woolen curtain in the warm pavilion and walked in.

smiled and said to the three girls: "I know that you are here to enjoy the plum blossoms, I will also come to join in the fun, are you three welcome?" ”

Su Ya, Qingzhu, and Qingmei were naturally very happy to see that Ji Kang had taken time out to accompany the three of them.

After everyone saw the salute, Su Ya pointed to the plum blossoms outside the warm pavilion and said to Ji Kang:

"Prince, the scenery is so beautiful, is there a poem?"

Ji Kang looked at the plum blossoms blooming outside the pavilion, and his mood was also very happy.

smiled at his three wives with big bellies, and said:

"Good! As a husband, I will make a "plum blossom" poem for the three of you. ”

blurted out: "There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone." I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. ”

When Su Ya and the other three girls heard it, they were simply "stupid".

The meaning of this poem is very simple and clear, the meaning is: a few plum blossoms in the corner of the wall bloom alone in the bitter cold. Why do you know that the white plum blossoms are not snow when you look at them from afar? That's because of the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

If you think about it carefully, the meaning contained in this poem is profound.

The first two sentences of this poem write that the plum blossoms in the corner of the wall are not afraid of the cold and bloom proudly; The last two sentences write the fragrance of plum blossoms, personification of plum blossoms, Ling Han alone, noble character, dark fragrance refreshing, symbolizing its talent.

At this time, it is natural to praise Su Ya, Qingzhu, and Qingmei.

When Su Ya and Qingzhu were still there to taste this poem, Qingmei couldn't help it.

For Qingmei, who loves plum blossoms, this poem is too good.

After saying "ah", he said to everyone: "Quick, bring a pen and paper, I will write it down and hang it in my room." ”

Su Ya and Qingmei also reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it." ”

Ji Kang sighed secretly, it must be a good poem!

Because I copied it!

Then I brazenly thought that anyway, if these poems didn't appear in this era, they would naturally be mine!

After the two palace maids brought the pen, ink, and paper.

The third girl came to the table in the pavilion with a big belly, and wanted to write down the poem.

At this time, Su Ya frowned and covered her stomach.

Everyone was shocked, count the days, the crown princess Su Ya, this is about to be born.

(I wish book friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival.) There is also a chapter that may be sent out later. ）
